Headwinds drastically alter high altitude flight times
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Slamming directly into a massive jet stream is nature’s best way of holding an airplane hostage. A severe high-altitude headwind can force a plane to drastically increase engine output while barely making any forward ground progress. It essentially turns a massive jetliner into an extremely expensive treadmill suspended five miles in the air.
One discovery leads to another.
